whoa!!!!...I seriously missed out on something here...babies...camping...don't leave me out...just a thought...my 13 yr old is seriously looking for a baby to look after!!! if there's camping up let me know..she will happily help with the little one sienna...PJ...

Its easy DeStevo....When you have a date / commitment,,,then you just know not to make other plans around that time....Also...it gives your boss plenty of time to make other plans to cover while you are away (if they don't...then its tough bikkie for them !!!).....if $$$$'s are a problem...then it gives you time to put a little away each week till you head off....the difference between an enjoyable break and having to sit back and watching every-one else eat their ice-creams.... .....I'm sure there are a truckload of other reasons out there.....

Life is not about how hard you can hit, but how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward.

I don't get any holidays apart from xmas, and it's about three weeks then, but then it's too hot to go to some of the place i want to, like west.

But that's not the end of the world. We get a few long weekends i could plan for i guess. Easter is only 4 days so you can't go too far out.

I was thinking of visiting a few dams for some bush camping and fishing from the canoe. Lake Awoonga is one, i camped there at the caravan park once, which i will never go back to, mainly because it's a caravan park, but there is a State Forest bush camping area at the other side of the lake, you just have to go the back way to get there, so that's on the list now.

Thanks for the suggestion GP, but they have "facilities" and a "kiosk" !!! ... there's grass and it's mowed!!

I'm more after bushing camping, state forest kinds of places, but not the ones where you have to park in a set spot and put you tent on the other side of the barracades, more like just set up where ever you want.

There must be a website somewhere for that stuff? Though i guess if there's no money in for anyone no one would make a website for it? Does that ozcamps site list that kind of thing? I'll have to have a look later.
